It isChapter 134: Even if he uses the honey trap to seduce
Hearing his little wife say this, Gu Yu was not surprised at all.
Compared to Gu Qingheng’s uncertainty, Gu Yu was very clear that Mengyao Gu would not change.
If it were that easy, that would be great.
It’s just that his little wife has a very firm will.
Even if he used the honey trap to seduce her, it probably wouldn’t work…
Therefore, regarding this monster murder case, Gu Yu did not intend to hinder Mengyao Gu’s investigation, but he just didn’t want to get involved in it at the moment.
Gu Yu had more important things to do than investigate the murderer.
…
“Village Chief, are there only these people in our village?”
“Yes! Some of them have gone to town to work. Although there are not many people left, they are all good farmers and honest people. I haven’t told people who like to do crooked things.”
After Gu Yu slept in the room, when he woke up, Mengyao Gu had already gone to town, and after he tidied up, he went to the Village Chief’s house to inquire in detail about the progress of hiring people.
Compared to the monster murder, Gu Yu was more concerned about his thousand acres of fertile land…
Having so much land at once made Gu Yu incredibly happy, but when it came to planting, it gave him some trouble.
Having land but no people wouldn’t work!
Fortunately, the Village Chief provided help, which made Gu Yu no longer troubled… but the number of people was a bit small.
Compared to a thousand acres of fertile land, Yang Family Village only had forty to fifty households that could be hired, which was still too few!
“There are too few people, or… should I go to town to recruit?”
“That’s not very good! After all, you don’t know them. If they don’t work well and end up running away, it won’t be worth the loss. Besides, there’s no need to rush. I’ve already told the Village Chiefs of the neighboring villages about this matter. When they heard that the Gu family was recruiting, they immediately patted their chests and guaranteed that they would be able to recruit people.”
“In that case, there is indeed no need to worry! As long as people can be recruited, money is not a problem. My wife was rewarded quite a lot by the Emperor for her significant contributions, so she has a lot of money.”
Only when Gu Yu heard that people from other villages would also come to work did he feel relieved. While talking to the Village Chief, he even generously stated that money was not a problem!
Moreover, Gu Yu was not worried about anyone causing trouble.
With Mengyao Gu around, who would dare to offend an official!
Besides, even if they weren’t afraid of Mengyao Gu, they would have to be afraid of the medicinal powder in his hand.
When the Village Chief heard that Gu Yu was no longer thinking of recruiting in town, he felt relieved. He thought that if those old fellows from the neighboring villages didn’t send a letter soon, they would regret it terribly in the future!
The Village Chief had never doubted the financial strength of the Gu family from the beginning.
In fact, working for the Gu family was much easier than working in town.
It’s not difficult to manage farmland at all, and you can stay with your family instead of working hard in town. It can be said to be a very good thing.
This made the Village Chief seize the opportunity to take stock of the villagers, recording down those who were usually well-behaved and worked hard, preparing to give them a surprise.
“By the way, Gu Yu, there is one family that works diligently, but there is one point…”
“?”
“It’s Zhiwen Yang’s family, who have already separated from the Old Yang family. They are usually quick with their hands and feet and are not lazy when working. Since they left the Old Yang family with nothing, they don’t have any spare money, so their lives are very difficult…”
“You can decide on these matters, Village Chief. I’m not good at farming or hiring people, so I’ll have to trouble you to take care of it.”
Afterwards, when Gu Yu heard familiar names from the Village Chief, he didn’t react much.
He just raised his eyelids slightly, and when he spoke again, his words were devoid of any emotion.
It was as if he was treating them like strangers, and nothing could disturb Gu Yu’s state of mind.
Ever since he fell out with the Old Yang family, Gu Yu had no expectations of the extreme Yang family and only wished to cut ties with them completely. Now, hearing about hiring Zhiwen Yang’s family, he wasn’t agitated to the point of forbidding it.
He was just very calm and didn’t think too much.
“Not at all, not at all. Since you have entrusted this matter to me, I will complete it well! The people I choose will definitely be good farmers, and nothing will go wrong!”
“Hiring so many people at once, it will be difficult to command them… I remember you have a younger son, Village Chief, who is also a good farmer, right? If you agree, I can arrange for him to be a small captain.”
“Small captain?”
“It’s like setting up different ranks in the military camp, so it will be easier to manage the people under them. Not only here, but also in other villages, we need to select a small captain to specifically manage their village. If there are any matters that cannot be resolved, they can come to me for discussion. At other times, the small captains will resolve them.”
While talking to the Village Chief, Gu Yu’s eyes rolled, and he came up with a good idea.
Originally, Gu Yu was a bit troubled by the sudden increase in so many laborers.
He still wanted to be lazy…
But the farmland couldn’t be left unplanted.
Therefore, Gu Yu came up with this method, which could save his time and facilitate management. Especially since the small captains would be family members of the village chiefs, it would be even simpler.
With vested interests, even if not for others, one would have to manage the villagers for their own family’s sake.
And Gu Yu could happily be a hands-off manager during this time, without having to worry too much.
“By the way, besides the small captains, there are also head captains. However, the number of head captain positions is not too large, only three. When the first year’s harvest comes out, whichever village plants well, the head captain will be awarded to them.”
“This…”
“However, the position of head captain is not fixed. If the harvest is in the bottom two for two consecutive years, then the position must be given to others who are capable.”
Listening to Gu Yu’s words, the Village Chief’s heart was churning like a stormy sea, thinking that this live-in son-in-law of the Gu family was truly unfathomable!
At this moment, looking at Gu Yu’s boastful demeanor, he was nothing like the timid and subservient person he was back then.
In just a few short years, there had been such a big change, which made the Village Chief think… is the Gu family’s feng shui so good that the people they raise are also so formidable!
Not only did Qing Gu and Mengyao Gu become officials, but this Gu Qingheng was also a genius with immeasurable prospects in the future.
However, Gu Yu, this live-in son-in-law…
The Village Chief thought he was even more formidable.
At such a young age, he already knew how to manage personnel, and he spoke logically and considered everything meticulously.
A person like Gu Yu was definitely not an ordinary person!
When he got older, what would happen?
